Yes, this is ridiculous, but, hey, it wasn't my idea! According to the Hollywood Reporter, there actually will be a computer-animated movie titled Cereal Heroes featuring cereal mascots who go on a high-stakes mission to save the world. Check it out:

David Meinstein (Portal) is writing the screenplay, which revolves around cartoon cereal box-mascots who are mistakenly brought to life when a plan to replace the world's fallen superheroes with characters from comic books goes awry. They soon find themselves on the run in an unfamiliar world that only they can save from destruction.

You know what would be awesome? If there were a movie like this but in the vein of Comedy Central's Drawn Together, a sort of adult tongue-in-cheek take on these characters. Anyway.

Now, most likely it won't be already existing cereal mascots, which is good since there are very few (if any?) female cereal mascots (though a few of them are pretty androgynous). Did you have a favorite cereal character as a kid? Which ones would make good movie characters?
